About the Dedicated AI System (DAIS)

The system DAIS, available to the participating institutes (as of 2025: Fritz-Haber Institute of the MPG, MPI for Human Development, MPI for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, MPI for Informatics, MPI for Software Systems, MPI for Sustainable Materials, MPI for Biochemistry, MPI for Polymer Research, MPI for Biogeochemistry, MPI for Geoanthropology, MPI for Multidisciplinary Sciences, and MPI for Security and Privacy) does not only provide an economical, shared resource, but also facilitates the exchange of experiences between the participating MPIs and beyond. DAIS is anticipated to become a nucleus and hub for further collaborations among MPIs in the extremely rapidly growing field of AI. To this end we plan to organize regular AI roundtables, workshops and trainings, open also to groups not yet participating in the system. The technical design of the machine allows for future expansion with additional funding. A first extension with Nvidia Blackwell GPUs is already underway.

Hardware details and technical documentation can be found in the DAIS user guide
